Real wall stickers are cool and cute, but sometimes a bit expensive, and I wasn't sure I really wanted some in my bedroom.

So I took one of my favorite designs (a swallow inspired from a vintage French drawing lesson), vectorized it, added a bit of my favorite patterns, and made my very own temporary wall stickers ! I love the way this project turned out and it's one of my favorite crafty project ever!

Unfortunately I can't give you the pictures I made : I am waiting for Spoonflower wall stickers to be in. I will then make real ones, and if this next step works I will make sure to share with you.

But here is what you need if you have a cute design you would like to transform to a wall sticker:

Here is how to do it

1. Print and cutout your designs.

2. Place them on the wall. Use masking tape to place them ( make sure your paper designs can handle it-some of mine didn't, depends on the paper)

3. Test your glue! I used a removable glue stick I found here . I tested it on the wall and made sure it was removable with no residue. Depending on your wall covering, it might work differently. It's the kind of glue you will find on post-it ® so it's quite harmless. I expect my stickers to curl and fall at some point, but in the dry LA weather it should be OK for a few months.
